Thanks. The Berra has the sticker and a small paper with it from Steiner. I was told by Steiner that it’s too old to be registered in their database.  Thanks so much !  Have a great day

Thank u.  Finally got a refund after a huge battle.   He still swears he got it in 1993 with his dad in NY and saw with own eyes.  Glad to have my money back and pics being sent back.  Thanks to all !  Learned a tough lesson

"He swears he got it in 1993 with his Dad and saw it with his own eyes". (Spit out coffee laughing)

I know it's hard to believe that "people" and I use that term loosely for many many F-Bay sellers, will tell blatant lies. Unfortunately, that's the world we live in where many people are BOLD FACED LIARS. They prescribe to the Costanza mantra that 'It's not a lie if you believe it". 

Great job fighting to get your $$$ back one way or another. Get busy learning Mantle signature before you buy another. It's almost fun to learn. It can take you a couple weekends to get a good feel for it. Start with PSA and JSA examples and go from there, they rarely make mistakes with Mantle. Also, get to know the photo. That photo you bought , I don't think I've ever seen a legitimate Mantle signature on that pose and there are many others like that. And the Berra has a steiner cert and card so I wouldn't sweat that. Not that those Steiner certs and stickers haven't been forged before though LOL. Good luck and have fun!

I looked at the Berra and I really have no issue with it. I have several myself. Also, his auto's very inexpensive. I've never known his autograph to be forged, but then again, nothing suprises me today. Obviously the Mantle's a forgery.
